I'll arrange for an unlimited bucket of fried chicken to be delivered.

I'll also arrange for a delivery of assorted craft beer to be delivered.

I'll sit in the recliner and read the detailed instructions as you two do the work. I'll also act as QA person.

mrs humfrz will be on hand to go to the airport to pick up ol @Tcoat if he would like to join us for this party.

Fun will be had by all -

That would be fun! A DIY. We will make sure:

• there is proper amount of cleaning around electrical or fluid connections before cracking them,
• the mating surfaces of covers when separating them are not buggered,
• nothing is dropped into an oil gallery while it's apart,
• mating surfaces are cleaned well enough before applying new sealant, and properly degreased, this is critical,
• there are no busted electrical connectors or bent pins when reassembling,
• there are no over-tightened vulnerable 6 or 8 millimeter fasteners because "we will use a torque wrench on those!"
  And whatever happens, make sure we do not rush or ignore the evacuation step before charging the AC.

I'm good with any lager or pilsner. And why can't I make the chicken?
